Green Tea Gelato and Black Sesame Cookie

A friend of mine introduced me to the combination of Green Tea and Black Sesame Gelato's together, and I loved them. I decided to make them together, however I thought that the crunch of a cookie would be a nice texture for the Black Sesame. I'm sure you could also switch it up and make a Green Tea cookie with Black Sesame Gelato.... I'd eat it either way!



Recipe

For the Gelato simply use the previous recipe posted, substituting the pistachio's with 5tsp of green tea powder.
